My 10yo, "E", has been talking to a couple of friends in class and they've decided they want to write a game.

I've decided I'm going to see if I can do private drum tuition as an online / distance learning course. Individualised lesson content for each student.
Gonna need better sound gear though for the drums. Starting with this: https://www.rockshop.co.nz/shop/recording/mixers/behringer-xenyx-x1222usb-premium-16-input-2-2-bus-mixer-with-xenyx-mic-preamps-compressors-24-bit-fx.html

Basically half of my timeline lately for some reason. I thought the fish tube was old news!
